[...] other day I wrote a tongue-in-cheek blog post declaring that Bush’s days as a president might not be numbered. If Bibi wins the next [...]

Bill: Now you’re advocating nuclear war against the Russians and their allies??? Come now, Bill. Are you a deliberate plant trying to make right-wingers look like raving lunatics??

Missed my point big guy. The Berlin wall was them getting off easy. What they deserved was multiple mushroom clouds. BTW, how is this our greatest threat since the civil war. Please enlighten me. or were you referring to Oct 1917.

Right on, Bill. Nice to know you’re a good German. I asked you once before, I believe, “Do you wear a flag in your lapel?” I hope to hell you do. Patriotism’s important stuff, you know. Forget the Valium - it’s aged Scotch for me all the way, neat!

Bush and Israel deserve each other. I wish he would make Aliyah amd spare us the pain of another 8 months of his diabolical administration.

Norm, take a valium man. The Berlin Wall fell, even though they did deserve it, plus a lot more. Che was a murderer, and Hamas is not the good guy here. We are and Israel is. It really is that simple.

This diseased, amoral little man, Bush, and his fascistic administration have succeeded in reducing what was once a work in progress, our nation, to a wretched state, one that very likely represents is experiencing the greatest threat to its very being since the Civil War. We have become an internationally violent, terrorist nation, a militaristic power that makes that of Ghengis Khan look benign. In pursuit of our self-proclaimed righteous significance, we have smashed our way into the 21st century with that 19th-century justification titled Manifest Destiny, as proclaimed by such as Bush’s handler-cronies and their follower-enablers such as those shits we euphemistically honor with the term “Neocon”. My God, we are in the process of returning our laws to a state preceding the 13th-century Magna Carta. Educated movers and shakers of our society debate with nary a facial twitch whether waterboarding really constitutes torture or not and whether the Geneva Convention is of any concern to us. Our infrastructure is collapsing, our expenditures (a basic expression of what a nation truly is) are essentially pro-greed and pro-death, we treat labor (people) as an expendable part of a bottom-line equation; we use God, or convenient expressions of the concept, along with various theological permutations, to justify whatever might satisfy the all-greedy among us, whether greedy for money or bringing about the end of times in a blaze of glory. Is it any wonder, then, that Obama’s statement of hope has resonated among many of us? And Israel’s support for the vileness named Bush speaks volumes about what that stout little democracy has become. Matthew Arnold said it sweetly a good many years ago: “And we are here as on a darkling plain/Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,/Where ignorant armies clash by night.”

@Bill Pearlman: Yes they do. And in historical retrospective Bush’s presidency will look far worse than it does now. In 20 yrs time, so many Americans alive in 2000 & 2004 will claim they voted for Gore & Kerry that it’ll be a wonder that Bush received any votes at all.
